Chapter 103 Meeting the Rescued Person
Due to natural disasters and floods, most cats and dogs drowned in the catastrophe, and the very few stray cats and dogs that survived were skinned, dismembered and swallowed by people.
Those who once owned pets made different choices in the face of adversity. Some ate their cats and dogs cruelly, some could not afford to raise them and let them wander, and some never abandoned their cats and dogs, but in the end they could not escape the fate of being stolen and eaten.
After the flood, Xia Xiaoman and his friends rarely saw any cats or dogs.
Therefore, when they suddenly heard the dog barking, Xia Xiaoman and the others were very surprised. They quickly put down their wine glasses and rushed to the balcony to look.
At the intersection across the street, a group of fully armed men in uniform, accompanied by several fierce horse dogs, rushed into a villa not far away like a gust of wind.
Li Yu'e said excitedly, "I said that the people in that house were acting suspiciously, and look, the police and police dogs are here!"
As soon as the words fell, fierce gunfire and dog barking rang out. The residents around all closed their doors and windows and hid in their homes, not daring to go out, but they couldn't resist their curiosity and squinted through the windows to watch the excitement.
Just when everyone thought that a thrilling police and gangster movie was about to begin, with one chasing the other and the other unable to escape, the gunfire suddenly stopped.
Not long after, long-legged handsome men in uniform escorted a group of people out of the villa.
The people being held were all dejected, clearly criminals, while the Malinois walked at the front of the team with their heads held high, as if announcing their victory to the crowd.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaoman felt a gaze resting on her. She squinted her eyes and found that among the people in uniform, there was a tall and upright man who was staring at her.
Xia Xiaoman felt that the man looked familiar. After thinking carefully, she found that this man was the one she met in the iron factory last time!
The man nodded slightly towards Xia Xiaoman, then whispered a few words to his colleagues beside him, then left the team and walked towards Xia Xiaoman and the others.
Xia Xiaoman raised her eyebrows. Was he coming to her to repay her kindness or to seek revenge?
Li Yu'e noticed that the man was looking at Xia Xiaoman and asked, "Xiaoman, do you know that man?"
"I guess so! I helped him a little before." Xia Xiaoman said ambiguously. "I'll go downstairs and talk to him and then come back up. You guys eat first." After saying that, she turned and went downstairs.
When I came downstairs, the man was already standing at the door. "Were you the one who saved me last time?" the man asked.
Xia Xiaoman nodded, "You are lucky enough to survive after being shot twice."
The man smiled and said, "I was wearing a bulletproof vest, so I wasn't shot."
Xia Xiaoman was a little surprised, "You weren't shot?! Then why were you half dead and covered in blood?"
The man's mouth twitched. "The blood on my body is someone else's. I fell from the third floor, fractured my calf bone, and had a concussion. I was so dizzy that I couldn't stand up."
Xia Xiaoman said "oh" and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have been dragging the other person's legs for a while. She suddenly felt a little guilty and glanced at the man's long legs.
The other party saw what Xia Xiaoman was thinking at a glance and said, "Don't worry, your act of dragging me away did not cause any secondary damage to my legs."
Xia Xiaoman was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard the man say coldly, "But your act of leaving me on the street almost caused someone to take away the box of drugs."
Xia Xiaoman blurted out, "How is that possible? I ran into the security team less than two minutes after I left that street and told them your location. During that time, I didn't see anyone enter that street."
Seeing Xia Xiaoman eager to refute, the man couldn't help but burst out laughing. The righteousness around him instantly dissipated, and he became a little careless. He leaned against the door and said, "I'm kidding. The drugs have been destroyed."
Xia Xiaoman rolled her eyes. It seemed that they were not familiar enough to joke with each other!
The man saw that she was unhappy, and said seriously: "My name is Xie Yi, thank you for saving me that day. If you hadn't shown up in time, that box of drugs would have harmed so many more people."
"Why are there still drugs now? Aren't these drugs submerged in the floods?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Xie Yi sighed, "This batch of goods was smuggled in from abroad before the natural disaster. We have been tracking down the whereabouts of this batch of goods. Now we have finally destroyed this batch of goods and caught the person."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "Are the people you just arrested the ones who sold this batch of goods?"
Xie Yi hummed, "This is just one of their branches. There should be more in other places. We are tracking them down."
"In times of natural disasters and chaos, you are still so dedicated in catching drug dealers. I admire you." Xia Xiaoman gave a thumbs up.
Xie Yi said in a deep voice: "Even if there is a natural disaster or a chaotic world, we must not let poisons taint the land of our Xia country!"
After that, he softened his tone and changed the subject, "You helped me a lot last time and saved me. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to the office to find me, or if you need any supplies, I can find a way to help you. It's considered repaying you for saving my life."
Xia Xiaoman heard that he didn't want to talk about work, so she didn't continue asking. She followed his words and said bluntly: "I'm short of gasoline now. Can you get some gasoline?"
She has no shortage of food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc., but what she lacks most is gasoline, and the space she has stored is not enough for her to spend freely.
Xie Yi's mouth twitched, and he gave him a big problem right from the start, "Gasoline is a scarce commodity, and trading is currently not allowed."
“What about diesel?”
"Is there any difference between diesel and gasoline? They are both in short supply."
Xia Xiaoman looked at him with a hint of disdain, "Then tell me what supplies you can get!"
"Uh..." Xie Yi pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "How about a stable job?"
Xia Xiaoman had a blank expression on her face, "Not very good." She had a lot of supplies in her space, how could she possibly go out to work!
"Forget it. You don't look like you have anything good to offer. I'll owe you for saving my life for now. I'll ask you to pay it back when I have the chance." With that, Xia Xiaoman turned around and went back to the house.
Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, and just when he was about to ask something, his teammates in the distance shouted for him to return to the team quickly. After hesitating for two seconds, Xie Yi glanced at the house number, turned around and ran towards his teammates.
On the other side, Xia Xiaoman returned to the balcony, and Li Yu'e winked at her, "Xiaoman, why did you come up so soon? Why don't you chat for a while?"
Su Ran also looked at her with a gossipy look on her face, "Sister Xiaoman, is that handsome guy pursuing you?"
Xia Xiaoman was speechless. "You think too much. That man is here to pay off his debt. I'm still young and don't have any thoughts of falling in love for the time being."
Her experiences since childhood made it difficult for her to open up to others and trust others. What's more, she was not interested in men and even had some aversion to doing intimate things with men.
For a while, she even doubted whether she liked women, but she didn't have any feelings for women. Maybe she just hadn't met the right person yet!
